About our bath re-enamelling in St Ann's Chapel

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Do you cover St Ann's Chapel?

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
